We're never going to get players to run this offense with it looking so dysfunctional so regularly.  McDonald needs to be creative and I don't think he knows how to be.  Auburn basically used a RB at quarterback all year last season.  If we're using Hunt for his mobility, we should just take one of our faster RB's, teach him how read a zone read play and let's do our best Auburn impression with multiple RB's in the backfield.  Before anyone says, "We'll never be Auburn, we don't have their players," guess what, we'll never be as good as any of the best offenses because they all have better personnel, but we have to do something different.  Rick Rod essentially did the same thing with Pat White at WVU.

I agree that we need a good OL coach.  Adkins may have been our biggest loss when Marrone left, maybe bigger than Hackett.

Edit:  If McDonald is going to study anyone this off season it should be Gus Malzahn.  His offense last year was perfect for a team weak at QB and WR and strong at RB.  He was also able to teach it in one off season, so the guy must be a teaching genius.  Maybe Gus will let him watch their bowl game practices, cool kid won't have anything better to do.
